Many have wondered when The Fabulous Freebirds would finally be honored by the WWE.  This week WWE announced that the Freebirds will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame this year.

Growing up in the late 70's/early 80's I was a big fan of the WWE.  If you watched on a regular basis, you probably saw a match featuring "Iron" Mike Sharpe.  WWE announced yesterday that "Iron" Mike  passed away at the age of 64.

Jon Stewart was on Monday Night Raw last night in Brooklyn to address his reason for costing John Cena his match at Summer Slam.

WWE Summer Slam was last night and if you didn't hear a couple of celebrities made an impact on the show. Former Daily Show host Jon Stewart and "Arrow" star Stephen Amell both had big impacts on the show.
